I buy most things in bulk. Perishables, like boneless chicken pieces,
are packaged in 2 person portions and frozen for later. I just don't
buy into the "cooking for two is harder" theory. Either you calculate
an average of what you estimate each person will eat and buy what you
need or you throw a whole bunch of food in your cart and cook it. One
method produces a lot of leftovers, the other doesn't - and your
attitude toward leftovers will influence your shopping personality.
